Ducking into the hallway opening from the throne room that led back to the guest quarters, Critias was near one of the Gamorrean guards. The dimness of light, did not truly conceal his presence. The hulking brute moved in closer, the vibroaxe crackling with energy.

Hayole stayed calm as the others spread out into the chamber and started ringing Force powers into the fray. While he was not a believer per se, he still recognized useful combative powers.

He continued to focus his fire on the most dangerous of opponents, putting those cross-hairs on the lizard-looking being. Holding his breath to keep still, he squeezed the trigger on his blaster rifle.

He could hardly believe it, the blaster bolt passing right between the bodyguard's legs at calf height. He had experienced a nose tickle just has he was squeezing the trigger and it fouled his aim. "Double grap on a shingle!"

The Trandoshan's taunting grated at Teeva's nerves. Even though she knew better to take her eyes off the axe wielding Gamorrean's, the force users anger slipped to the blaster wielding mercenary.

Calling up on the force, the girl hurled a force blast at the Trandoshan. The energy hit the foe square and Teeva felt a rush of the Force. It feel like she had a bit of a recharge on such a clear hit. And hopefully wiped the grin off that alien's face.

The tough looking bodyguard continued to taunt and distract the heroes, holding their attention and focus. he was the most dangerous of the opponents in the chamber and he proved it. He tossed a small metallic sphere into the midst of the four coming out from the concealed passage. It exploded in a blue flash of energy, crackling that lit the nerve ending of those caught in the blast effects. The hair on Kalla and J'hera Zed stood on end. Teeva suffered the worst of it, her stamina not able to shrug it off, but she remained conscious and mobile.
